True it cant be outlawed but it can be worked around and try to still win the old fashioned way. Look at mlb the #23 payroll is the #1 seed and hosting the NLCS. Study how they did it.

Im not sure they ever got to the bottom of franklin's involvement in the vandy rape case

Franklin's Penn St. firing is reminiscent of the Mark Richt firing at Georgia. Both won a lot of games for a long time at programs where eventually winning a national championship is expected. The amount of these long term fired HC buyouts are absurd. College athletics needs to rethink the long tail on these HC contracts.

This will be interesting to see which guys hit the portal at UAB, Oregon State and especially Penn State.

Haven’t paid attention what happened at Arkansas, UCLA, Oklahoma State and Virginia Tech. Seems the hammer is dropping quicker this year.

Sure the P-2 programs in contention for the CFP are about to drop more money hiring players for December/January.

Oregon State and UCLA academically operate in the quarter system.

I’m hoping PSU gets gutted like a Thanksgiving turkey. Might change the rules if a major university ends up with bare bones.

The NIL train has left the station, but we should go back to the rule that you have to sit out a year if you transfer. Would then at least give the athletic and the booster buying them something to think about.

Our “friends” to the east are working the rosary beads real hard. At least one national publication has Brian Kelly as the most logical choice to replace Franklin. Kelly is from that part of the country is the logic behind that.

I just look at UL softball getting ravaged roster wise. Indiana took a ton from JMU, USM/Marshall. Want to see a big school have to start over.

To drop 3 games in a row with the supposed talent PSU has, either they are greatly over valued or internally something was happening.

Very good idea and this is about the only thing I didn't hear them cover in the Freakomics podcast.

The Supreme Court will then say that this policy is restricting the athlete’s constitutional right to completely monetize and strike that down.

Good idea..... they could try to even the playing field the old fashion way too, how about set a certain NIL threshhold and if you are above that you remain at 20 practice hours allowed or maybe go down to 15, and if below you get 25 or 30 hours. Could even sell it not as losing practice time but giving the NILers time to work on their craft...or even be sure they are enforcing the 20 hours to begin with, with all these "grad" students and online students meeting with the "analysts" all morning should probably count as practice time

[CajunVic]

None of that is happening

Interesting..... doesnt mean how things are are always the best way
